Note:

1. As regards Education Allowance, Staff Welfare/Maintenance Expenses and Newspaper subscription paid to bank staff, the average prevailing at the industry level has been taken into account, to have a fair and reasonable comparison.

2. In some banks, cost of 15 litres of petrol is reimbursed as ‘Conveyance Allowance’ to award staff, besides the above.  At the present prices, this will be Rs.1,100 extra.

3. If we compare the limited working hours a day and 5 day week for the central government staff, bank staff  need to be paid additional amount of compensation for the extra hours worked (15% more than the central government staff).

4. The volume and varieties of work handled by a bank staff are beyond comparison.

5. If someone moots the topic of concessional loans for bank staff, ask them to consider these points so far as the bank employees are concerned:

(a)  There is no tax liability on the perquisites paid to the government staff.
(b) Number of transfers of a government staff is far less compared to his counterpart in a bank.
(c)  If the amount of risks and responsibilities is any criterion, the bank employees (other than officers) must be paid not less than 150% of the salaries paid to the central government staff.
(d) Central government staff enjoy stagnation-free running scale, throughout their career.
(e)  Whenever the pay scales of central government staff are revised, their pension also undergoes automatic revision, for all types of pensioners.

6. If we look at the statistics given above, clerical staff working in banks are the worst affected.

7. In fact, a clerk in Central Government service earns a monthly salary of Rs.33,920, whereas the monthly salary of JMGS I officers in a bank is Rs.32,471 (both at the beginning of the scale).  This is the mother of all injustice.

50% Dearness Relief Merger or Interim Relief for Central Government Pensioner: Bharat Pensioners Samaj's letter to Finance Minister

50% Dearness Relief Merger or Interim Relief for Central Government Pensioner: Bharat Pensioners Samaj's letter to Finance Minister

"Consider granting 50% DR Merger or some other equivalent benefit/interim relief pending setting up of VII Central Pay Commission to provide the much needed immediate relief to central government pensioners in the country" - BPS

BHARAT PENSIONERS' SAMAJ
(All India Federation of Pensioners' Associations)

No. BPS/SG/FM/031/1
Dated: 06.08.2013

To
Shri P. Chidambaram,
Hon'ble Finance Minister,
Government of India,
New Delhi.

Sub: Relief to C.G. Pensioners.

Sir,
The pension of central government pensioners' was revised last w.e.f. 1.1.2006 as per the recommendations of VI Central Pay commission.  Though central government employees and pensioners were granted 50% DA/DR merger benefit w.e.f. 1.4.2004 as per V CPC recommendation, this benefit was not granted after DA/DR crossed 50% w.e.f. 1.1.2011 on the ground that the VI CPC did not recommend this.  It may kindly be seen that the VI CPC had not recommended an alternative benefit to pensioner.  They had also overlooked the spirit behind V CPC recommendation in the above regard.

This organization had been demanding for long either granting of 50% DR merger or an alternative benefit to pensioners in order to protect them against rigours of ravaging inflation.  Pensioners have been facing grave financial hardship due to the galloping and unbridled inflation for the past several years.  It is becoming increasingly difficult for them to make their both ends meet with steady and continuous fall in the real values of pensions against ever increasing prices of essential commodities and general cost of living.  It may also be seen that while several state governments in the country have been revising salaries and pensions of their employees and pensioners once in every five years, it is more than seven years since VI CPC recommendations had come into effect and the government has unfortunately been apathetic to the sufferings of the pensioners.

Bharat Pensioners Samaj therefore, request your kind-self to consider granting 50% DR Merger or some other equivalent benefit/interim relief pending setting up of VII Central Pay Commission to provide the much needed immediate relief to central government pensioners in the country.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

The Deputy Commissioner,

All Regional Offices and ZIET's.

Sub :- Amendment in Admission Guidelines 2013-14-Part-C, Procedure for Admissions, Para-9 (I), Method of admission in Class XI (KV Students).

1. KV Students: Admissions in different streams viz. Science, Commerce, Humanities of Class XI in KVs for KV students who have passed Class X will be regulated as follows:

Point	Existing	Amended
a.	The merit list will be drawn/prepared as per CGPA obtained by applicant in CBSE/Class X result in every school	No change
b.	The Seats will be allotted as per the rank in the merit list prepared as at (o) above vis-a-vis number of vacancies available in a particular stream in the Vidyalaya and as per the option of stream exercised by the student. The Seats will be allotted as per the rank in the merit list prepared as at (a) above vis - a-vis number of vacancies available in a particular stream in the Vidyalaya and as per the option of stream exercised by the student.However, the Class Strength will be fixed by the Principal of the kendriya Vidyalaya concerned in following manner.	The total No. of applications received from students of the same KVs from neighbouring KVs which are upto Class X or not having the desired stream. If any, plus no. of students failed and detained, etc. in class XI (including all streams) would be divided by the number of sections of class XI available in the KV (including Science, Commerce and Humanities streams) and the quotient arrived at, will be the maximum strength of each section of class XI of that KV of each stream. For example, if 200 applications are received from some KV and neighbouring KV which is upto Class X and 12 students failed in class XI (Including all streams in the school) and 4 sections of class XI (2 Science, 1 Commerce and 1 Humanities) are available , then 200+12 = 212/4 = 53/ 4 53 would be fixed as maximum strength of each section of Class XI. However, the maximum strength to be fixed should not be less than 40. Thus a combined merit list (including students from neighbouring school which are upto class X or not having desired streams) would be prepared. As per the option given by the students and maximum number per section as fixed (above), admission would be granted in each section (including detained students) eg: if 53 is the class strength fixed in a particular stream, 3 students are detained in that stream 53- 3=50 students would be admitted (including students from neighbouring schools which are upto class X, if ay).
c.	Concessions wherever applicable shall be incorporated while preparing the Merit List.	No Change
d.	In case of two or more candidates obtaining equal CGPA, the inter-se merit of such candidates may be determined as follows: (i) Candidates obtaining higher grade points in Maths will get precedence in admission. (ii) If two or more candidates have got the same grade points in Maths, then the candidates securing higher grades in Maths and Science taken together will get precedence over the others. (iii) In case of a tie between two or more candidates obtaining same grade points in Maths and Science taken together, the student older in age as per the D.O.B. will be given precedence over the other.	No Change
e.	Principal may admit children to class XI only up to the permitted class strength.	Principal may admit children to Class XI as per the maximum strength fixed at the school level as at (b) as amended including detained students.
f.	A student who was earlier not found eligible for admission to a particular stream may be allowed fresh admission to a particular Stream in Class XI in the next academic session, if he/she improves his/her performance within one year for the same Board.	No Change
g.	If school is not able accommodate all the students and students from neighbouring KVs which are only up to class 10th, the class strength will be increased with the approval of the DC ol the concerned Region.	Deleted

This issues with the approval of Commissioner, KVS.

To
The Deputy Commissioner,
Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan,
All Regional Offices.

Sub :- Compliance of Admission orders issued under clause XIX (f ) of admission Guidelines.

Madam/Sir,
It has come to the notice that admission orders issued by KVS HQ under clause XIX (f) of admission Guidelines are not being honored by the Principals on the plea that admission orders have not been received by the school authorities. Consequently parents are facing hardships and the education of the child is being delayed.

You ore hereby directed to communicate to all the principal under your jurisdiction immediately that in no case children be refused admission and in case letter issued by KVSHQ has not reached the school, the principal may confirm Genuineness of the issue of admission order either from the undersigned (Phone 011-26965154) or, Shri.Y.Arun Kumar AC (Acad) (Phone 011-26564294). In no case, under any circumstance, parents be made to face hardship on account of flimsy grounds like non receipt of admission orders by the school /Principal.

This issues with the approval of the competent authority.

Yours faithfully
